Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
考生
I prefer typing because when I work or organize some documents it makes me execute more fast. But when I study in class I usually do handwriting because it helped me memorize.

Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
分數: 70.0建議: Make your answer more natural and correct grammar, use one clear topic sentence then give a linked supporting detail with a reason and an example. Avoid redundancy and correct tense/word choice (e.g., “faster” not “more fast”, “helps” not “helped”).
範例: I prefer typing for most tasks because it’s faster and easier to organize documents. However, when I study in class I usually write by hand because handwriting helps me remember information better; for example, I retain vocabulary more effectively when I copy notes by hand.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
分數: 65.0建議: Answer directly with a clear topic sentence and reduce hesitation words (e.g., “Umm”). Use precise vocabulary (e.g., “rarely” instead of “virtually” here) and link ideas with a connector. Give a brief reason or context.
範例: No, I rarely use a desktop or laptop. Instead, I usually type on an iPad or take handwritten notes, because the tablet is more convenient for me when I’m on the go.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
分數: 68.0建議: Start with a clear, grammatically correct time reference and avoid small mistakes (e.g., “When I was a young child”). Combine with a linking sentence showing result. Keep it concise and natural.
範例: I learned to type when I was a young child; my older sister taught me. As a result, I can now complete most of my tasks quickly by typing.
How do you improve your typing?
分數: 66.0建議: Give a structured answer: state your main method, then add specific details about your practice (frequency, methods, goals). Avoid vague phrases like “that's all” and awkward tense usage; use linking words to show cause and effect.
範例: I improve my typing by practicing every day, usually with online typing exercises and timed tests. Because my sister taught me at first, I stayed motivated to get faster and now I measure my progress by tracking words per minute.
× I prefer typing because when I work or organize some documents it makes me execute more fast.
✓ I prefer typing because when I work or organize documents it helps me work faster.
The original sentence uses awkward phrasing and incorrect adverb placement ('more fast'). 'Makes me execute' is unnatural; use 'helps me work' and the correct comparative adverb 'faster'. Also omit the unnecessary article 'some' before 'documents' for naturalness.
× But when I study in class I usually do handwriting because it helped me memorize.
✓ But when I study in class I usually write by hand because it helps me memorize.
'Do handwriting' is incorrect; use 'write by hand'. Tense must be consistent: the context is a general habit, so use present 'helps' not past 'helped'. Also 'in class' is fine but clarity improved by rephrasing.
× No, virtually. I don't usually use desktop or laptop. Umm, instead of those I use iPad or just notes by handwriting.
✓ No, not really. I don't usually use a desktop or laptop. Instead of those I use an iPad or handwritten notes.
'Virtually' is incorrect here; 'not really' fits spoken refusal. Use articles 'a desktop or laptop'. 'iPad' should have an article 'an iPad' (depending on speaker's style) and 'notes by handwriting' should be 'handwritten notes' for correct adjective use.
× When I was young kid, my older sister taught me how to type on a keyboard.
✓ When I was a young kid, my older sister taught me how to type on a keyboard.
Missing article 'a' before 'young kid' is a singular/plural/article issue. Adding 'a' makes the noun phrase grammatically correct.
× Now I am able to doing my own tasks by typing.
✓ Now I am able to do my own tasks by typing.
After 'be able to' use the base verb, not the -ing form. 'Able to do' is correct; 'doing' is wrong here.
× I just practiced every day and since my older sister taught me how to type, I thought someday I will surpass her, definitely.
✓ I practiced every day, and since my older sister taught me how to type, I thought that someday I would surpass her.
Tense sequence is inconsistent. 'Just practiced every day' suggests past habit; use simple past 'practiced'. After 'I thought' (past), future-in-the-past should be 'would surpass' not 'will surpass'. Remove filler 'definitely' or place it appropriately.
× So I was motivated, that's all.
✓ So I was motivated; that's all.
This sentence is acceptable but punctuation can improve clarity. 'Was motivated' correctly describes past motivation. No major grammar error; keep past tense to match previous statements.
